LC Smith Serial Number Confusion, 0 Grade

[Sam Carpenter]

I am a new member and I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I recently was in a small town gunship and ran across an unmolested and uncracked LC Smith '0 Grade'. It is serial number 34659. This does not match with the timeframe of manufacture for the 0 grade that I can tell. It comes back to 1892 and again way later than 1913. The information I got was from the Brophy book and from the LC Smith Collectors website. Any advice or direction would be appreciated. (My Parkers were so much easier to date)
